The way he explains in this video a method that both keeps you motivated AND doesnt put pressure on you makes it so much easier to live your life in a positive mindset and understanding that stuff takes time, but to do the little thing every day. For exemple instead of trying to do 3 insane sessions a week (didnt work as I would find a way to make excuses after getting exhausted) I did way more little ones where I would not be tired but pumped. Now i'm in great shape, stress way less about future goals so basically what he explains very clearly here

Although I'm not into combat sport, during that time, I hiked a small hill in my city every day, 4- 5 km loop, to calm my head.l and my body to pull through the exam.

This approach really helps in combat sports. Training Muay Thai, our coach would push us to the absolute limit. And yes a lot of our fighters were in great shape. But they’d also miss quite a bit of class due to injuries or being sore and exhausted. I’ve been going toward the end of Thai class and taking the days drills and conditioning going at my own pace. Still getting drained but not to my absolute limit. I’m seeing more progress now because I can go everyday.

You won't drop the weight until you cut out all the junk from your diet. We're close to the same age, but I'm a bit taller. Like you, I have never really exercised. (I've been saying for years that when I do, this video will be my guide; plus, I have Pavel's books, which are terribly written, but perhaps a necessary exercise in patience in itself, but I digress...) For the last 20-ish months I have been on a very high animal fat/protein diet, only really making sure to keep my carbs under 25 grams, and have gone from 315 to 205. I won't try to dispute that at least a little exercise would have been beneficial over the same period, but I didn't need it to lose weight. I have literally sat on the couch for the last year and a half and eaten pork rinds and hamburgers. Sorry. I get a little caught up sometimes. I just have to put it out there that as a society we're almost done talking about "calories," and that's going to be great.

I actually applied this concept without knowing. I randomly tried to make my workouts fun. I'd do pyramid type of lifts. Increasing weight and lower reps if I felt a weight was too easy id do 3 sets on that same weight before increasing. By the end of the workout I'd have done tons of sets and I'd feel no soreness the next day. This increased my capacity overall in everyday life and any type of lifting itself. The weight I used to do 5 reps on I could do 8-10. Im currently doing hypertrophy focused training but I go all the way up to heavy weights lower reps then back down. I get gains in strength, performance, muscle and no soreness. I did back today deadlifts+Rows+ carries . I had an insane workout with tons of sets at different weights and I feel amazing.
